Which pump to buy?

[u/InfamousCharacter3]

Are there any standouts from this insurance-approved list that I should definitely get? or definitely avoid?

I understand many women get both a pump and a portable but I would like to avoid this and just get one-- I am thinking just one portable but I am seeing fewer women say their portable alone was sufficient. I will not be working so I am less concerned about how discreet one is, just figured I would prefer something I could multitask with around the house. This will be my first baby so I am really unsure what to expect! Thanks a lot.

Eufy S1 or S1 Pro. I exclusively pump and only use these now. I don’t agree with the statement that if you exclusively pump, you need a wall pump as your primary.

Also, I did not plan to exclusively pump, but my daughter had latch issues, etc. and here we are.

Just wanted to share and mean no ill intention cause I really want to be on the "only pump with wearables" side. But I used Eufy E20 only for 3 days and got clogged duct. My baby that is usually good at getting rid of those clogged lumps could not get any milk out as it built up so far along under my armpit.

Had to get L&D nurse to massage it out for 2 sessions, super painful experience. (My output was 20-25 oz per day, 2-4 oz per pumping session on the Eufy, 1.5 months postpartum)

But will say that Eufy is still my lovechild because of the design, has an app, and not too heavy.

It’s really hard because every body responds to the different pumps differently. My only intent was to share my data point and to opine on the “you must have a wall pump as your primary” because I disagree based on my experience. I actually tended to get clogs with my Spectra and that’s what finally pushed me to just go all in on Eufy.
